Of course it does not mean that everything is free. And everything is not free. Some of us would like certain things available to people who do not have the financial means to get those things for themselves, but that's hardly "everything." With your claim of Democrats wanting "everything" to be free You are trying to take the social safety net to an extreme that does not exist. You are having to exaggerate to make your point.

GD> That is way with Philanthropy, there is nothing mysterious about that. And yet, it proves that your statement that "No one does nothing for nobody unless there is something in it for them" is not the absolute truism that you presented it as. Perhaps there are other nuances and motivations that you've missed.
